Recently, the St. Clair County Sheriffs Office reported that the dive team was called on out in frigid temperatures to recover a snowmobile that went through the ice in the Black River on Sunday afternoon. According to Sheriff Tim Donnellon, the call came in about 4:15 p.m. Sunday that a snowmobile went through the ice near the I-94 overpass. The owner of the snowmobile was not injured and the dive team was able to successfully recover the snowmobile from the freezing waters. The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone to practice ice safety this winter. The general rule for clear ice is at least 4 inches to walk on the ice or to ice fish and 5-6 inches of ice for a snowmobile.
